Chapter 379: At home and away

"Oh, what hangover remedy! I feel so good right now, I could drink ten more bottles of wine and still be fine.

Five million! I've never felt like I could do something so amazing before.

But now I feel like I can make another 50 million, 500 million in the future.

When Dad hands over the Ji family to me in the future, our family will definitely become the number one family in Sichuan City.'

Ji Pianran took Gu Chen's hand and told him so endlessly.

'Actually, the restaurant I opened in Sichuan City today also made money, even if I didn't make any money in the afternoon.

But the scene was quite lively today,' Gu Chen also said to her with a smile.

'I know, I know, it's the small shop on Xingye Road, and Uncle Guang told me about it before.

You spent 300,000 yuan before, and you must have been cheated. I'm telling you, the land in Sichuan City is not worth that much money.

Maybe if you lower the price a bit, you'll definitely make more money.'

Ji Pianran paused after saying this, and then quickly added a comforting voice.

'But don't worry, honey. Our family has a lot of money now, so it's no big deal if we lose a bit.

I'd say you just focus on taking care of Tangtang at home, and leave the money-making to me in the future.

And today Dad also said that he will transfer me to his side as soon as possible, so I don't have to stay at the grassroots level anymore.

After I wait for a year or two and train more of my own people, Dad will be ready to retire.

If you feel like you need money at home, just let me know, why bother with those unprofitable small shops?

If people find out in the future that my husband actually sells breakfast on the street, I'm afraid they will laugh at me.'

As she finished speaking, Ji Pianran suddenly remembered something and continued to ask Gu Chen.

'Right, honey, is Tangtang doing okay at kindergarten today? Has she been bullied?'

Gu Chen shook her head and said gently,

'Don't worry, I just asked at dinner. Tangtang is doing well at school.

She gets along well with the other children.

But her teacher told me this morning that the kindergarten is holding a parent-child outing in three days.

Parents will also go together at that time. Will you have time, Bianran?'

Ji Bianran froze here and hesitated before saying:

'Three days later, I, I should have time then.'

Gu Chen also said helplessly:

'Bianran, you said before that our family has already earned enough money,

why do we have to work so hard? And seeing you so tired, I feel very distressed.'

After a pause, Ji Bianran nodded.

'Yes, our family has a lot of money, but... we can't just let the business sit there.

And the Xu family has now collapsed, leaving a huge market for Chinese medicine in the whole of Sichuan City.

We can't just let someone else take advantage of that, can we?

Recently, I've been working with my father to acquire their fields and factories and equipment.

These are all high-quality industries, but they're being sold for less than the price of cabbage.

It's because nowadays, apart from the Ji family, no one else in the entire city can swallow up so much industry.

So we must act quickly.

If people from other provinces get wind of it and then snatch some of it away, we'll be sorry.

It's only been a few months, but the Ji family's influence has already grown stronger than it has in the past few decades.

Besides, my father is already quite old, and I'm doing this to take some of the burden off him as soon as possible.

Oh, you wouldn't understand these things if I told you. Honey, just stay home and take care of Tangtang.

As long as Tangtang grows up healthy and happy, you'll be the biggest hero in our family. I'll take care of everything else in the future.'

Gu Chen couldn't help but let out a long sigh upon hearing this, and then helped her change to a more comfortable position on the sofa.

'Pianran, you're drunk, and I've got some hangover soup cooking in the pot. You should drink some of that later.'

After saying this, Gu Chen turned around and went to the kitchen.

After a while, she came out with a bowl of already warm hangover soup.

However, when she looked up, she found that Ji Bianran was already lying on the sofa in the living room, completely asleep.

Gu Chen could only helplessly put the hangover soup down.

Then she helped her take off the high heels and jacket, and bit by bit massaged her somewhat stiff calves.

After she felt her blood flow again, he picked her up in his arms and carried her back to the room.

Early the next morning, Ji Pianran slowly opened her eyes after waking up from her sleep.

Although she wanted to sit up, she felt dizzy and her head felt like it was being stabbed by a needle.

She tried to remember, but all she could remember was that she was very happy after closing a big deal last night.

She returned home and sat with Gu Chen for a while, and then she fell asleep in a daze.

She didn't seem to remember anything after that.

Ji Bianran rubbed her temples hard, and then quickly looked at the clothes she was wearing.

She finally let out a sigh of relief after finding that there were no stains on them.

She was afraid that she would vomit everywhere after getting drunk.

No matter at home or outside, if that really happened, it would be too embarrassing.

Ji Bianran turned her head and saw that there was a glass of warm water on her bedside table.

She was so thirsty that she quickly took it in her hands and gulped it down, feeling much better.

But then her stomach rumbled again.

She realised that she hadn't eaten anything last night, just been too busy enjoying herself.

She then washed up briefly and went downstairs to find something to eat.

She wanted to fill her stomach first and then go back to her room to catch some sleep.

After all, it was only a little after six o'clock, and there was no rush to get up and go to work.

However, just as Ji Bianran had reached the living room on the first floor,

she saw that her husband and daughter had already gotten up early and were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

This made her feel a little embarrassed.

Gu Chen just smiled slightly and said,

'It's rare that you woke up so early. I thought it would be eight o'clock before you got up. Come and sit down and eat with us.'

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to the kitchen, bringing out the food that he had left warm earlier.

'This is a new hangover soup made this morning.

Pianran, drink some while it's still hot, otherwise I'm afraid your hangover will give you a headache all morning.'

Gu Chen said with a smile as he placed the breakfast and hangover soup in front of Ji Pianran.

Upon hearing this, Ji Bianran's heart could not help but warm slightly.

She then directly picked up the bowl of hangover soup in front of her and took a sip.

She didn't know exactly what Gu Chen had done, but she just felt that this bowl of soup was not only delicious.

It also seemed to have made her head feel better, as if the pain had really stopped.

This made Ji Bianran feel a little surprised.
